aussiebird2012 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hello, I wonder if anyone can advise please: There is a question on this form which asks if nationality/citizenship of another country other than Australia? My English parents left Australia in November 1981 to move back to UK with my 2 brothers (who are English) and myself (born in Australia) but I have no idea how or if I became a British Citizen when we left Australia and arrived in the UK, or if I obtained it by descent from my parents? The form is asking for dates and how aquired but I have no idea? Has anyone been in this situation and can you help me please? Thank you in advance.

ali Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Do you have a British Passport? Do you vote? (which would suggest you are a citizen). A quick google of 'how do I check if I have British citizenship by decent' - took me www.gov.uk website. It may be worth exploring that and i'm sure they will be able to point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have checked that website and I think I got British citizenship automatically when I was born to my British parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Have a google as I think there is a website where you can find out for sure if you have British Citizenship and how you acquired it. The rules/laws have changed so much over the years, and although you probably acquired it because you were born of British parents, there could be other things that come into play.
